Well....
The end is near...
Women and children hit hardest!
Ooppsss...wrong thread.
I have a 1.2 kW power supply and 4 120mm fans for my new i7 mobo with dual nVidia GTX470s. The ambient temps run around 65-70C and the noise is almost unbearable. I’ve been researching sound dampening materials, and I think I’ll be insulating my case. The performance is unreal, though. There’s absolutely nothing I can’t do/play, and at almost $2500 for the whole system, that damn well better be the case!
There was a posting earlier about graphine replacing silicone, allowing processors to blow past the THz threshold without an increase in heat or power consumption.
Might be coming sooner than you’d think.
